#5

Maxwell Reading:

• There are 5 components to this models research design
• Goals
• Conceptual Framework
• Research Questions
• Methods 
• Validity 
• In figure 7.1 the visual is very helpful wen thinking about the components of this research method. It helps to show the relationships and connections between all the components of qualitative research. 
• With figure 7.2 you can see another layer come to the surface as you dive deeper into your research. There are many more things to consider. 
• The rest of the reading further explains and goes into more detail about each of the 5 components. The component that I enjoyed reading most about was methods. There are some many ways in which you can collect data in qualitative research. There is no cookie cutter way and that is something the excites me. I do think the tricky thing for me is narrowing down the who, what, where and when to collect data. I have doubts in my head of whether or not i chose the right students to interview or whether or not i am truly capturing the entire student voice of RIC with only a handful of students.
